Burnt ends were originally started from beef and come from the point or nose of a packer or whole brisket. Places like Arthur Bryant's in KC use to give them away before realising that they could charge for them. They use to stick them on a plate or in a pan by the order window and people could help themselves as they waited in line for their order.

Don't know where pork burnt ends would have come from but beef burnt ends are the original burnt ends.

If you ever go to Mother's in NOLA for breakfast and get there early enough before they run out, be sure to try what they call their Black Ham which is the "burnt ends" from their baked ham. Delicious! pb

I don't care for burnt ends either. I like the moist meat that its supposed to be. And another thing - I don't understand why in Heavens name some people prefer less cheese in pizza but love a burnt crust !!!!!!!! Heck - I've had my share too and im baffled by their choice.
